Warm Waters

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Bristling with melodic hooks, the radio-friendly acoustic electric pop of Kenny McCafferty's Warm Waters offers listeners compelling songs of confession and devotion to Christ. Formerly the lead guitarist for Mastedon, Kenny demonstrates here that he's as adept at writing songs and singing as he is at guitar pyrotechnics.

I expected good music from one parent to another parent.......2007-05-03

While her vocals are great (and very reminiscent of a blend of Alanis Morissette and Sarah McLachlan) and I did expect a collection of songs from the heart of a parent, I was disappointed to find language that would require a bar of soap in a household of children. I can't play this when my kids are around! What's the point in that?

A truly gifted artist who has an unbelievable voice.......2006-01-30

I discovered Kath Fisher on itunes and fell in love with her album "One". Her voice is truly her instrument, so controlled and multi-layered, soulful and capable of long notes and belts. She has a good range, with shades of Tori, Alanis, but with a deep tone that makes her truly unique. Her lyrics are cool, with an enunciation that makes them understandable. Her tunes are catchy, but not your typical radio pop, though I have heard her on San Diego radio. Standouts include "I will love you" on ONE; I love "Beautiful Life" which you may recognize from the Toyota commerical; and "The Lovely Years" from the new album of the same name. I actually have all of her albums, and all songs are just great. UPPERS AND DOWNERS is an album of 1/2 quick tempo songs and 1/2 slower songs, with lots of covers, including a cool version of "Dream On". If you are looking for a great, but for some reason undiscovered in the mainstream true talent, you can't go wrong with Fisher. Why isn't this girl famous?

It's a beautiful album.......2005-07-20

If you like Sarah, Tori or the Indigo girls you will love this album

Great if you are a new parent..........2005-06-15

I love Fisher's music, and bought this the day it came out. The music is good, but I was a little disappointed that the theme for the album was about how wonderful it is to be parents. Not that babies aren't wonderful, they are, but if you aren't a new parent you may not relate well to this album and True North would be a better pick.

lovely years, voice, lyrics and music = er, lovely!.......2005-05-07

new moms will be particularly attracted to the pretty songs. the lullaby "you" is especially nice -- one of only two Lullaby songs to actually make me weepy-eyed thinking about my wee one (who is now 8) (the other song was "baby mine" by alison krauss)

her voice is as lush and memorable as ever, and the music and arrangements are even better than on previous works.

stand outs other than "you": "all i ask" "beautiful day" "sleepy head" "lovely years" "turn around" and "be here".

good stuff! cd universe has the cd for $3 cheaper. i guess amazon gets their shipping cost one way or another.....

Set back, relax and enjoy the CD.......2004-02-01

The title says it all. There is a real warmth to this electronic music CD. Unlike most of the techno-babble produced as "Chill-Out music" there is a an ambiance to this CD that has been composed by the musicians and not generated by some blackbox software package. The music on the CD invites you to pour yourself your favourite drink, close your eyes and chill out for a few minutes. Best vacation you'll get for 20 bucks.

There is not a bad track on the CD. Recommended.

undiscovered gem, brilliant.......2003-09-19

wow - this is what the music world needs right now! who are these guys??
madrid's "warm waters" is the best, coolest easiest album to get into I've heard in a while...it's like electronic,dreamy, with real heart and groove...evokes strange journeys and drives in the sunset - really intensly emotional at times, just downright cool at others.
Find this album!!! you will thank me soon...

Sheer and utter beauty.......2002-07-09

As I always state, I am a Purcell worshipper. His harmonies, counterpoint, and text underlay are absolutely unique and wonderful. I second what was said in another review. Get the complete work if you can. However, this highlights disk is awfully fine listening.

Track 4 "Come if You Dare" is stunning in its energy and fun. It is almost unfair to single out any track because the excitement is everywhere in this performance.

Track 6 "How Blest Are Shepherds" is especially nice Purcell style lyric beauty.

Well, I could say something nice about every track. The point is - this is a treasure and should be in your collection (but go for the complete version of this same performance if you can).

One of the best baroque performances on disc.......1999-03-11

I guess, if you're unsure whether you will like this kind of music you may decide to try a "highlights" recording. I'd encourage you, however, to buy the entire thing. When it comes to Les Arts Florissants, you can't go wrong. As with many other Les Arts Florissants recordings, this one followed a live production, and it shows: the vocal and orchestral characterization of the music is all the more expressive and meaningful. King Arthur, like most other Purcell's "operas," is a combination of spoken drama and "incidental music" to accompany it. Les Arts Florissants presented the entire four-hour spectacle on stage, but committed to disc only the musical part. Yet, even without the spoken word, every scene feels complete. Especially memorable are the scene of sacrifice in the first act, the famous scene of the Cold Genius (wonderfully sung by Petteri Salomaa); and the succession of vocal numbers in the fifth act, including "The Fairest Isle" (in which Veronique Gens simply shines) and the incredible ATB trio "For Folded Flocks" (Padmore, Paton, Best). Incidentally, here as elsewhere, Christie adopts a lower pitch of a' 392 Hz in order to enable high tenors (hautes-contre) to sing alto parts. This has become Christie's signature practice, and it is perfectly borne out by the latest scientific research into authentic baroque performance methods. This recording won a major Gramophone award in 1995, a very deserved recognition of excellence!
